We’re still two-handed in the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event in Las Vegas. Jay Farber(pictured) is trailing Ryan Riess by about a 5:2 margin, but there’s still plenty of time left, as Farber is stacked with 54 big blinds.

Two major hands had the bar this author was at on their feet (literally) despite the fact we’re several thousand miles away from Las Vegas. On the 195th hand of final table play and a board showing 3-3-7-2-9, Farber bet 24.5 million with what looked like the utmost confidence and Riess tanked… and tanked… and tanked some more. Eventually, a bathroom break for this author and six minutes later, Riess mucked Q-7 for two pair. Farber had 6-5 for a big bluff and the stacks were, as they began, nearly even. The pot was worth over 60 million.

Then, Riess scooped a pot of nearly 60 million with jacks to move out in front in a major way. On a board of 8-4-3-2-7, both players checked and Riess showed J-J for an overpair. ESPN poker announcer Norman Chad observed, “Give Jay Farber a lot of credit for that bluff and give Ryan Riess a lot of credit for surviving and thriving.”

There was plenty of railing of the Main Event on Twitter, including from Griffin Flush_Entity Benger, who Tweeted, “Riess’ appearance is actually a brilliant disguise IMO. Imagine how many people misplayed him assuming he was a young aggro internet kid?” Riess is still channeling his inner Calvin Johnson and wearing a white Lions #81 jersey. He’s 23 years young.

So, for all you cliff-noters out there, here’s the summary from WSOP officials on Twitter: “Farber may have pulled off the big bluff, but it is Riess with the big lead now. Just won a big pot to move to 134 mil. Farber down to 56M.”

We’ll continue until a winner is crowned tonight, whenever that happens. The tournament is airing on ESPN on a 15-minute delay.
